OK, let's crack this. We're given 99 and our task is to multiply it by 8. Essentially, we'll be adding 99 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 99 = 99
Step 2: 99 + 99 = 198
Step 3: 198 + 99 = 297
Step 4: 297 + 99 = 396
Step 5: 396 + 99 = 495
Step 6: 495 + 99 = 594
Step 7: 594 + 99 = 693
Step 8: 693 + 99 = 792

So, 99*8 = 792
